Trouble Calls...

[Rosco]

Well, i figured I might be catching up with the speed of my fathers Corvette. It's a '98, Dual intake, and a B&D Tri-Flow exhaust. Was planning on adding 3.73's, full 2.5" exhaust with longtubes, and possibly a h/c/i combo. But.. lol it's all over now. My father has decided to put a little money into his car. He's going to be installing a Magna Charger System on his C5. He's been talking to a couple people who have already done this, and they've been pushing around or above 500hp at the wheels from 5-7 psi. Guess i shouldn't help him install it this winter... Any kind of idea how fast this thing should be if he can actually hook up?

Low 11's

Too bad he wont let you drive it anymore! Dont worry though, their is plenty of go-fast goodies for the Stang that can hand him hes asz. How much was that supercharger you are getting?

Hey, now who said he wouldn't lemme drive it anymore If i'm going to help him install the damn thing..i better get to drive it..er...go fast as hell in it..heh...Think it'll have a chance of pulling into high 10's? He might get the intercooler with it..so a possible addition of 8 or 9 psi might be possible. I think I got it priced at 1600 for the paxton 5psi. Well now that i know that dealer/vendor guy...and no it's not Tony... He works at Maines So it's not someone that will screw me over. hehe He's got a s/c sitting still new for a 94-95 5.0 . So i might check with him on what stuff he has left still.

He should buy one of those twin turbo setups for it

I suggest living vicarously through your fathers vette...cuz your mustangs NEVER gonna catch it street legaly. Help your dad install the kit whether he lets you drive it or not. The experience with your father is worth more than anything else tangible. Unless you swap a blown stroker in there your not gonna catch pops and that will never be street legal. If the mustang is a second car than go for it. But it doesnt sound that way. Good luck and let us know how it turns out

Well....the twin turbo setups from lingenfelter are real nice. The lowest one can get you 550hp. But he should be making around that with the Magna Charger He his buying from them. The whole 550hp kit from lingenfelter got lowered..to something like $23k. LoL. A bit high for his money. The only trouble we're having right now, is finding another hood that can clear the charger. I know a couple people who are running mid - low 11's on street tires in mustangs...more or less a engine swap or a twin turbo setup. But who knows what will happen in the future

Not true.

Yea it takes money, and the vette has the advantage, but it possible to have an 800hp daily driver stang, look at the latest, maybe last mm&ff mag, the saleen look a like in the back, that guy cruises that stang around quite often, except in the rain because of the e.t. streets, but with proturbokits around, we are getting some unbelievable #'s from street driven stangs, yea i realize these guys make kit's for f-bod's and vettes as well, it all comes down to money, but the corvette's will shatter a rearend before a mustang will with all this boost, at the track i still think the stangs got it sowed up...jmo

edit: this guy i mention, his car has gone through some changes, but i reemeber seeing it at the track knocking off 11.0's on drag radials, at some crazy mph, and his car had a.c and t.v screens in it!! if i remember it was 3400+ lbs, or something like that, it's now a c6 auto, he was breaking the tremmec's.

Lingenfelter sells the hood i believe for that blower. M6--127+ mph in the 1/4. A4 124 in the 1/4+....

[Rosco]

Yeah, he sells 2 hoods for it. But honestly none of them really look good. I think we're going to go with the ACI hood. The rise starts alot closer to the front of the hood as aposed to the other one, where it basically looks like a big shelf you can store things on top of.

I second that Coupe5oh. Don't worry, your Stang is not useless. Of course it takes money. I remember last year a guy in California built a 6 or 800hp Hatch Mustang that pass California emissions. It can be done and we have seen it done. I dont know why Fastang said that. Your pops has the advantage, but their is many Mustangs running what he would run legally(define legally).

Rosco, drop your car off, we'll put something together ON MOTOR to take out that vette............

[Rosco]

for free? if so sure thing, i'll drive it down as soon as you gimme the address you want me to bring it to

Hopefully I can get a built motor off a guy from work. $1300 for a 500+ motor with no intake system.
